He’s nuthin Coy Bacon can’t handle.

What worries me about this sort of game is suffering a catastrophic injury to a key player.

Not that it’s more likely to happen against the Jets than anyone else, but when winning the game isn’t the biggest worry, the next biggest worry takes center stage.

It would be something to go beat New Orleans in New Orleans again, though, eh?

I think it would be cool if the Rams go to New Orleans for the title game, have a horrible PI call go against them, but they overcome it and win easily anyway.

On what you do to fix inconsistencies offensively)
“We’ve got another game next week. Just get after it starting tomorrow. I’ve had to bounce back from various things before this is just another one of those hurdles. I don’t wish to have too many more hurdles for the rest of the year, but this is another one I have to bounce back from.”

I think I see Goff’s problem. He’s trying to bounce off hurdles instead of jumping over them.

“Goff wasn’t much better for Los Angeles, but his playmakers made up for his relatively forgettable outing.”

What game was he watching? Goff also completed 39 passes and threw for nearly 400 yds and 3 TDs.

The Rams are now the second seed in the NFC.

Not bad considering the personnel overhaul over the offseason.

what is terrible is losing whit. i think this offense struggles even more. i think goff suffers. i will be rooting for noteboom though.

He ain’t Whit but I think Noteboom will be ok. It will be even more important to establish the running game now though. Mix things up offensively to keep defenses from teeing off. Tough test this week against the Bucs.

If you fear Trump's election-fraud lawsuits will affect the outcome of the election, this should allay your fears. His lawyers didn't bother to file even basic docs to move this appeal forward. That's b/c they don't care about litigating it, only about getting it into the news. https://t.co/dQtzvqXyS3

From Biden/Harris transition planhttps://t.co/FIm34A2DlC

A substantive, aggressive plan:
– Tens of millions of tests
– Double drive-through testing sites
– Govt. investment in instant and at-home testing
– A real mobilization of contact tracing.

I wonder if behind-the-scenes Trump will offer a “peaceful transition of power” in exchange for not being prosecuted.

I also wonder how many people in his administration will try to cash in on the most corrupt presidency in history by writing “tell-all” books – where they describe all the juicy details while pretending they weren’t complicit – ala Albert Speer.

Good win. Running game was humming against a good defense.

Goff seems to have regressed a bit over the last two games. Missed some open receivers again. Not as sharp as he was in the first 5 games.

how do you even do contact tracing in a country where no one picks up unknown numbers because the FTC spent hyears doing nothing about scammers and robocalls

I see too much despair out there around the net. I need two losses like that before I feel that kind of despair.

Goff was off. But then also he had protection against the league’s 5th best team in terms of bringing pressure. The main issue on offense was the fact that the SF CBs limited the Rams WRs. Yet at the same time the Rams could run the ball against the league’s 5th ranked defense, 8th in terms of ypc allowed.

The Rams D was stymied but then that was against a team that was bouncing back from a horrible road loss the week before. Rams run D is always going to be an issue this year but then the Rams D also did their “limit scores in the 2nd half” number, and that makes 6 games now.

Rams always seem to have Seattle’s number. SF under Shanahan have had the Rams number. It’s just how the teams match up. I don’t think the season is over and I don’t feel the angst of this loss like some do. I think they will bounce back.

I don’t disagree with that. The Rams are a work in progress. Going into last night I didn’t think they were a serious Super Bowl contender yet. I think they need a major upgrade at LB/DL and a WR that can really stretch the defense. Is Van Jefferson a burner? Maybe he eventually can do that. Right now I think they are exactly what they appear to be – a second tier team (playoffs but not Super Bowl material).

But losing to the 9ers is always going to sting more than losing to any other team. Especially when it’s a game you should win. It also pisses me off that Shanahan has been getting the better of McVay.
